Brian and I and all of us here at big table farm hope this letter is a little treat in your day!
First and foremost, we hope you are all well and spring is bringing you joy!
The baby lambs have been particularly mood boosting this spring for us with 7 healthy babies!
Thank you all that came to the farm for the release party and art show this past weekend! Special shout out to our nephews and my brother that came to bottle and help with the party. We hope to make this an annual event for those of you out of town we will announce the date early so you can plan! Thanks to all that took home wine and art it was a huge success and so wonderful to share the farm with you all again for this special once a year event!
And with mood boosting in mind, we bring you Rosé!
The 2023 bottling marks our 16th vintage of producing Laughing Pig Rosé! Brian’s makes this wine each year with the goal of making a wine he wants to drink: dry, malolactic complete, and one that stands up to food while also being delicious on its own.
Its release marks the beginning of spring for us, and it is a house favorite until it’s all gone sometime in September. As always, it’s bottled without any fining or filtration after spending 5-6 months in neutral barrels.
The 2023 Laughing Pig is delicious! This beautiful dry rosé has high-toned strawberry and cherry, that is balanced with a soft yet impressive richness on the palate. The full tasting notes are on our web site. It’s always the first wine released of a vintage, so it is always special - we are so happy to be able to keep trotting it out!
Thank you for supporting our dream, so we can continue to bring wines to your table.

In the category of mood boosting!! BOB IS HOME!!! after a 7 week walk about thanks to friends scouring Facebook for lost cats he was located 18 miles away! He most likely got into a vehicle and then found him self lost. We did find out he managed to find two different homes that took excellent care of him on his ‘vacation’ but he’s back and we are all over the moon including his best buddy Stanley.
